GOING:

Race 5 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Lune Saphir leading the way. LUNE SAPHIR (11) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 900m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. ALMA CHERUB (7) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. BLACK RISE (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CROWN FARADAY (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 12 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
